SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries)

HALAL — DATA INCOMPLETEstock

Is SABIC Halal?

Petrochemicals and industrial materials are generally permissible, but current screening remains incomplete.

What You Should Know

SABIC's March 31, 2026 financial statements show SAR 237,906.104 million of assets, SAR 38,682.787 million of debt and lease liabilities, SAR 24,553.896 million of cash and Q1 revenue of SAR 26.15 billion. The examined asset ratios are below the listed limits, but a methodology-neutral conventional-interest or prohibited-revenue numerator and product-level end-use allocation are not disclosed.

⚠️ Concerns

  • FTSE income numerator and business classification remain incomplete
  • Chemical, polymer and fertilizer products have environmental and downstream-use questions
  • Joint ventures, divestitures and short-term investments require underlying review

Overall
Incomplete

Historical market-cap inputs are not stored; market-cap methods cannot resolve the unavailable income and business-activity determinations.

Business-activity disclosure

Petrochemicals, polymers, agri-nutrients and specialty materials are generally permissible manufacturing activities, but feedstock, chemical end uses, derivatives, joint ventures and customer applications are not fully allocated by Sharia category.

Limitation: SABIC reports segment revenue but not a complete prohibited-use, conventional-interest or contract-level allocation.

Purification

No purification percentage is calculated because a methodology-neutral conventional-interest or prohibited-revenue numerator is not disclosed. Consult a qualified scholar for any purification decision.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are SAR millions converted from the Q1 2026 financial statements' SAR thousands; revenue is SAR millions from the Q1 earnings release.
  • Debt includes debt and lease liabilities plus current borrowings and current debt/lease portions.
  • Receivables include trade and other current/non-current receivables; short-term investments are treated as identifiable interest-bearing securities.
  • The release and interim statement do not isolate a methodology-neutral conventional-interest or prohibited-revenue numerator.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
